Whitcoin(WHIT)

This contract was deployed at block 484792 on November 3, 2015, approximately six hours after the canonical MistCoin at block 483325. The contract is identified as MistCoin on Etherscan because it uses the identical MyToken template bytecode. However, the token name stored on-chain is Whitcoin with the symbol WHIT, indicating a separate deployer created their own token using the same template on the same day.

The contract uses the MyToken template that was featured in the Ethereum Mist browser wallet documentation. The template was written in Solidity v0.1.6 and provides basic token functionality: a fixed supply assigned entirely to the deployer at creation, a public balanceOf mapping, and a transfer function that emits a Transfer event. The template was designed as a demonstration of how to issue a simple fungible token.

November 3, 2015 was the date on which the Mist browser introduced a graphical token creation interface. The MyToken template was prominently featured in Ethereum Foundation tutorials as a hands-on introduction to token contracts. Multiple users independently deployed tokens using this template on the same day, illustrating how the Mist browser dramatically lowered the barrier to smart contract deployment.

The contract received only one transaction, its deployment. The deployer address 0x26c5AB9c2ee8557A11536b2cA24A19d61E77Af30 has no other documented activity, suggesting this was a one-time experiment following the tutorial.
